The Knowledgemonger Kronicles

So a friend of mine had a link posted on his "here message" on g-mail. If you love music and you are over 18 you should check it out.

I might do the unthinkable and the very wise...I may be moving to Manassas to be closer to school and to save some money on rent (think in the neighborhood of $400-500/month) & probably on food as well since I will be taking on the role of general nutritionist and not eating out or drinking so often.

It makes me happy, but there is great sacrifice as well. I don't like being this far from DC and my friends that are there. I also, don't want to think about the drive home after working at town Fridays (worse) & Saturday (bad). Though I really like the apartment that we viewed and it would be with someone that could use being moved herself & is mutually agreeable. But, we will see. I do have an apartment to view near U Street Metro this week as well.

I may need someone's cough every once in a while if I do move out here and if any of my friends are willing to have me. Love my town brothers *bats eyes*

Anyway, just a quick update from suburbia.

A friend of mine posted this as a bulletin on her myspace page. Apparently, she has a few friends that would benefit from reading this. I enjoyed the writing style and the story is crazy. I know it is 6 pages long but it is worth the read as it is by the screenwriter, Josh Olson. He wrote the screenplay for the film A History of Violence.

I have set up 4 interviews for this week, woot! None, of course, in the traditional 9-5 arena, but there will be time for that later in my life. I have also taken a job this summer working at Nissan Pavilion as a VIP server (though hopefully that will turn to bartender before we start), which I did for one show last year and made fantastic money and had a tremendous amount of fun (cutting myself aside).

If you are unfamiliar with "Ted" shame on you! The site can be found here and I am posting a video from there for you to enjoy as well. Though some of you have already seen it and may have even introduced my lesser self to it.

So, this week I have finally decided to get serious about finding a M-F job, that will keep me sane and allow me to live at the level that I had been accustomed to living. Well, minus some of the extras that I really don't need. I have shot my résumé out to several companies with some smart cover-letters (for instance: "Dear Hiring Manager:   I get it!   Best regards,") and now I play the waiting game. Granted the above mentioned cover-letter resulted in me getting a call the next day to interview next week. Look at the good I do.

I have lived in this building for 2 years and I know zero people on my floor. I know the front desk staff, the 2 gays that I knew before moving in here & the guy on the 14th floor that is a friend of a friend. That's it and I don't interact with any of them regularly. I don't even know how I should feel about that. I guess it just is how some things go.
